When you Pause the replay in CA:DE,
Option to remove “Game Paused” text in the center to get better looking screenshots. Maybe show pause in another way.

This already exists in some way:
If you use Alt+O to hide the HUD, it will hide the “Game Paused” text.
Can also use Alt+Shift+O to toggle whether the minimap appears in the hidden HUD mode or not.
Does your use-case require the rest of the HUD to be visible?
Yes this is different. The rest of the HUD needs to be visible for information.
Your software is great.
Still, it’s just a suggestion. If I take screenshots with “Game Paused” in the middle probably others do that as well. There probably are several possible ways to solve this and other stuff that is more important but the screenshots would look better.

I’m not a CA dev, but I know they watch all these threads eagerly for feedback and bugs!
In my opinon, I think it’s a bit of a niche scenario/need on the whole, so there’s the question of whether it’s even worth adding a hotkey or setting for it.
Maybe just clicking on the “Game paused” text to hide it could be a reasonable solution… wouldn’t be the most obvious action, but would allow the use-case without taking up real estate elsewhere.
